Game Update Highlights

• Jumpstart is here! Check out this brand-new limited mode for quick, mix-and-match games, as well as 300+ New-to-Arena cards for Historic.
• Borderless Planeswalker styles arrive! See the store for bundles from Eldraine, Theros, Ikoria, and Core Set 2021
• Check your collection while drafting - Hold 'Alt' while drafting to see how many of each card is in your collection

Jumpstart

For more information, check out our Jump Into Jumpstart article!

• Jumpstart entry fees are 2000 gold or 400 gems, and you can play as many games as you wish until the event ends.
• Your first two wins of each run will each award a rare/ mythic rare ICR from the new Jumpstart cards (excluding those already in Core Set 2021).
• Play your deck as much as you’d like and resign if you want to try a different deck.
  • Joining again will require another entry, but you can select different packets to play with and add to your collection and are eligible for the rewards again as well.
• The Jumpstart event will present a player with 3 packet options, from which they will choose one. Afterward, they will choose a second packet from among a new set of 3 options.
• Each packet contains 20 cards, including lands. The two packets will combine to form your 40-card deck.
• Cards from both packets you select will be added to your collection. Gems or vault progress will be added for cards you have already collected 4 copies of (same as other limited events like draft or sealed)
• As you hover over each packet in the packet selection screen, the basic land associated with that packet will appear. You will see a checkmark on the land if you already have that basic land in your collection.
  • Exception: The Rainbow packet has a nonbasic land, Terramorphic Expanse. Selecting that packet will only add one copy to your collection, but unlike the basic lands you can use common wildcards to craft this card if you wish.

Bug Fixes

• Titles of M21 Showcase lands are no longer off-set on the battlefield.
• Players can now correctly mute the M21 Dog pet ("Mute Emotes" on an opponent will mute their pet as well)
• Fixed a bug where "Can't be countered" abilities would still apply when their source was phased out
• Fixed an issue where the deckbuilder would become unresponsive when opening the full-screen deck view
• Fixed an issue where, when ordering replacement effects, spells cast as Adventures that create replacement effects were showing up with missing art and text.
• Repositioned opponent's remaining timeout UI to get out from under other UI elements.
• Godzilla lands now show up alongside other basic lands in the deck builder.
• Mutated cards with card styles should now show up correctly in the View Mutations browser.
• Cleaned up how cards with cardstyles display abilities on the stack. Fixed errors where the wrong asset was being applied, leading to cards displaying with elements from two styles.
• Fixed minor visual issues with the presentation of Adventure text boxes on the stack
• Fixed the player draft "table" showing up behind the draft cards.
• Added missing localization to the advanced search terms.
• Activated abilities were sometimes causing old style badges to show up. This has been fixed.
• Fixed minor graphical issues on Planeswalkers displayed in "tucked exile" under other cards on the battlefield
